Upon arriving, officers saw a large crowd near two parked cars, according to Glover. In one vehicle, an unidentified 26-year-old woman in the front passenger seat told police that she had been shot in the foot. Glover said she was transported to a hospital for treatment.

Meanwhile, another officer approached the second vehicle occupied by two men and a woman and saw rear passenger Maverick B. Wehye duck down and "reach back for something," Glover said. When police removed him from the vehicle, the 38-year-old Newark man bolted west on Edison Place but was soon apprehended, according to Glover.

The second man, Shareef L. Long, told police he was at the scene of the shooting and was limping and bleeding from his leg. He said he was unsure if the injury to his leg was caused by gunfire and refused medical attention at the scene, Glover said.

Police arrested the two men and the female driver, 25-year-old Metuchen resident Assata Jalloh, and charged all three with weapons offenses.

While investigating at the scene, police learned that a third victim was taken by a friend to a hospital after being struck in the leg by gunfire, authorities said. The victim, an unidentified Irvington man, said he attempted to break up the fight when a single gunshot rang out. The man received treatment for his leg wound, police said.

Acting Police Director Sheilah A. Coley lauded the officers for their response to the incident.

"I commend all the officers involved in this incident who demonstrated tremendous restraint and professionalism and dedication in the pursuit and apprehension of the actors found to be in possession of the weapons recovered, ensuring that the incident did not escalate any further," she said in a statement.

All three people suffered non-life threatening injuries, according to Glover.
